Bird flu case detected at Athalassa Park with no public health risk
A case of bird flu was identified at Athalassa Park, prompting health and veterinary officials to reassure the public that there is no cause for concern or panic. Five individuals who came into contact with the infected goose have been placed under monitoring and restriction; all tested negative for the virus in molecular tests. Monitoring will be extended to 14 days as a precaution.
Authorities have urged park visitors to avoid contact with the geese to prevent potential spread. Cyprus has become the 19th European country to report bird flu cases this year, a development experts say is common among wild birds and typically recorded annually. The primary challenge remains preventing the infection from reaching poultry farms, which officials are actively working to protect.
